VIDEO: TRUE DETECTIVE Opening Credits get a BATMAN Twist

Short of a comic spin-off, this is probably the only time we'll get to cover the excellent HBO crime series! Josh Newman has put together a video called "World's Greatest True Detective", which imagines a Gotham type tv show set to The Handsome Family's True Detective intro music.

Pretty cool. How awesome would it be if Fox's Gotham took a page out of True Detective's book for their opening credits?

That was great, but I don't think the song fits with Gotham. The reason it works so well with True Detective is that it's set in Erath, Louisiana which is this black hole of a redneck town that is miles from anything.

Still not completely sure how I feel about the True Detective finale. I loved most of the show, but I feel the end could have been handled better at certain parts. But I won't discuss this here, cause many seem to still want to watch it. Which I recommend, it's pretty damn good!

This shit...really? True Detective did something inventive now people want the TV and film industry to rape the idea to death. Why can't we keep shit as an auteur's idea. Whoever did TD's opening sequence did a great artistic interpretation of that story. I don't think anyone can or should impersonate that shit. Be original, that's what made True Detective so memorable in the first place.

Gotham will be shit. Arrow is shit. Flash might be shit. Don't devalue the only show I actually enjoy on TV.

You obsessive idiots, like seriously, IT'S JUST A SHOW. Get over yourself I mean literally you act like it's you're show that you've worked on for so long.

It was just something a FAN DID. It's not happening forreal, WB didn't post it, and even if WB posted it, they have every right to since HBO is owned by Time Warner which has connections with Warner Bros.

Like seriously get a grip, it was fan-made over a fan-fiction idea. Get the [frick] over yourself, it was bound to happen at one point since I am sure many comic book fans wish that this level of dialogue and direction would be on something like Batman or hell any type of comic book TV show.

Stop acting like the show is yours, cause in reality IT'S NOT and I'm sure the producers don't give a shit or the writers since they know it's just a FAN SHORT. Nothing else.
